Women who are experiencing sag or ptosis in their breasts and are troubled because of excess skin can be ideal candidates for breast lift surgery (or mastopexy). However, a breast lift procedure will deliver the best results based on two important considerations, including the following;
The type of incision that Dr. Ortegon will make depends on the degree of breast ptosis.
A small amount of breast sagging can be corrected with an incision that circles the areola. A large amount of ptosis will be corrected with an anchor-shaped incision on the lower part of the breast. Dr. Ortegon will remove glandular breast tissue and loose skin to elevate the breasts and nipple-areola. The nipple will then reside at a higher position on the breast, and the whole breast will sit higher on the chest wall.
The results of your breast lift procedure will be noticeable right away.
But you will need to rest and recover for several days. You may have some swelling and will have to care for your sutures and incisions. If you had surgical drains placed, you will need to care for them. Breast lifts leave a permanent scar but should fade and flatten significantly over time with the proper care and protection.
No. Dr. Ortegon typically performs Breast Lift surgery under general anesthesia so you will be absolutely comfortable and in no pain. Post-surgery, Dr. Ortegon will prescribe pain medication to help relieve any pain or discomfort.
Your breast lift procedure can take around 2-3 hours.
A Breast Lift procedure will require some downtime. In most cases, our patients can resume light activities within 7 to 10 days. They can go back to their normal routine after around 3 weeks post-surgery. You will, however, be advised to avoid any kind of strenuous physical activity during the healing period as heavy lifting or exercising can put pressure on your surgical incisions.
